Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Will Not Fight Miguel Cotto Above 147-Pounds

If you opponent is disadvantage by the weight it is your advantage. Do I really need to explain this?

Exactly. That's why Pacquiao won two titles with a catchweight. Tell me when Mayweather did that. I'll wait.

That wasn't for Mayweather's adavantage and Mayweather wasnt trying to pick up a cheap belt.



Obviously you lack reading comprehension when you see everything in Pacquiaovision.

Yeah Marquez slow and sluggish because of the putting on the weight quickly, told Mayweather in negotiations he could not fight above 140, and Floyd ignores the weight agreement that gave Floyd an advantage already.

" I will fight anyone at 150 "..... (except Sergio, and now Cotto)

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38KOs) advised the Manila Bulletin that he would not fight Miguel Cotto (37-2, 30KOs) at any weight above 147-pounds. Pacquiao stopped Cotto in the twelfth round in 2009. That match was fought at a catch-weight of 145-pounds. Pacquiao learned his lesson after taking some punishment to his body in a one-sided win over Antonio Margarito in 2010, which they fought at 150-pounds.

Oh **** no, we could not have that fight take place at a weight where Cotto would be comfortable, that would be completely unacceptable.

You are turning into an absolute joke Manny.

It was never a Catch weight fight. If u listen to Ellerbe and Floyd's team they kept saying it's a welter weight fight. The catch weight was thrown in there to cut Floyd some slack, for everyone would discredit the fight considering Marquez was coming up two weight classes. The catch-weight talk was just to validate the fight in the eyes of the public. FLoyd came in the same weight he has always done for his fight at welter. I hated the deception, but it is what is, a merely tune-up , to size up one of Manny's opponent and get the fans all riled up for a major clash between him and Pac.

I wonder why Floyd had to pay 600k(300k/lb) to JMM if it wasn't a catch-weight fight?

Exactly. That's why Pacquiao won two titles with a catchweight. Tell me when Mayweather did that. I'll wait.

So it is ok to disadvantage your opponent by catchweight if it isn't for their title.


So Cotto vs Pacquiao at 147lbs is ok by you, because it is not for Cotto's title and it is not even catchweight.

Glad that is cleared up.

another catchweight fight for the "catchweight king"

Yah I was shaking my head at that statement too. Not only did mayweather have a height and reach advantage but since he didn't even bother to make the catchweight that he set he also had a weight advantage. Plus add to the fact that it was marquez's first fight above lightweight..

[LeadUppercut]

LOL, some people feel that moving though 10 weight classes is not enough.

Pacquiao gets vastly outweighed at welter, but weight a minute he's not hindered enough let him move up to light-middle.

Guess this shows how high even the haters rate Pacquiao.

God you are a pig-ignorant fanboy.

How could you be so ******.

You are one of the very worst posters on this site, yes, and I have encountered Check_hooks.

That cherry-picking b1tch needs another fight at Manny-weight.

[Johnwoo8686]

Who do? What titles?

Pacquiao and Cotto do. Or did Manny vacate his title? Anyway I still think this fight should be above 150.

If you think 147lbs is catchweight then you really don't know your boxing.
